Background and rationale. ALARA publishes works via a bi-annual journal, an occasional monograph series, occasional other publications, webinars and video recordings, and its websites. ALARA retains copyright of published works, to ensure that

  1. authors' works are protected, and
  2. authors can benefit from the administration of copyright fees by ALARA, as a registered member of Copyright Agency Limited (CAL).

ALARA does not retain these rights exclusively, and authors are entitled to republish the Article in a printed or electronic collection without charge as long as they ensure that the original ALARA publication is properly credited, and they notify the ALARA Editor of their intent to do so. We like to keep in touch with authors to continue building the AR/AL network of researchers, practitioners and writers, existing and new.

  1. The published work is an original work submitted to and published in an ALARA publication
